Re: My 99 Mysteriously rolled in street HELP

Ok lots of questions. I have parked in the same spot now for 6 months, everyday when I come home from work. I never use my parking brake. Now when I applied my parking brake last night, the vehicle did not move.

As for the AWD, thats another thing. lol. In March I got my radiator, waterpump, and hoses replaced. All brand new parts. Then in May all fluids drained from raditor. So I took it back to the shop on 05/22/09 and there was a leak behind my water pump, he fixed it and I picked it up, that late after noon. Immediately when I picked it I felt a different type of vibration. I drove it through the weekend, and the vibration was constant no matter what speed or street. ( I have the interstate memorized as to when I should feel a normal vibration and when I shouldnt feel anything) So I took it back on Tuesday after Memorial Day and the mechanic said my rear drive shaft was shot. He showed me this long huge thing that was rusted and the ball of it was done with. Needless to say the vibration immediately stopped.
I read a previous Mountaineer creeping, posted on here 10/2007, and it was because the front drive shaft was removed. SO I thought that means this situation doesnt apply to me. My car did not creep ever before, even after drive shaft removal. The other night was the first time.
To finish your last question, yes my vehicle started up immediately and it does hold on the incline. I am concern it will creep over a time frame.

After all this, what do I tell the mechanic to exactly check. Im tired of them going over everything and acting like they are doing me a favor by giving me a BS answer and then trying tell me what I am ganna do $1000 later.
